    This is a rescue mission. You need to rescue Uriah, a Vortigaunt.

    Be careful though because if he dies the mission ends. In fact you have to protect him from himself because he is very brave.

    Can you get him out of his cell and lead him to a Portal? Good Luck

    I want to talk about consciousness and gaming. I’ll touch on a number of areas and all of them deserve more depth and detail than I’ve given them. The purpose of this article is to explore some ideas and hopefully be the catalyst for some interesting discussions.

    So, let’s get started.

    Where are you? Not where are you sitting but where is your consciousness? Is it purely in you brain or is your brain a conduit from which it accesses the physical world?

    This mod continues from the end of Pyramid and sets the player in a world where the sea is rising.

    You encounter almost all of Half-Life 2’s enemies and a great outdoor area.

    There is some interesting backtracking and even a bonus map if you are lucky.

    For the very first PP Podcast I am joined by Matt Glanville AKA CrowbarSka, maker of Union and the soon to be released Corn Of The Dead.

    We discuss 5 selected mods from July 2009 and also chat a little bit about viewpoints. The show lasts just under 38 minutes.

    I hope you enjoy the show and please don’t hesitate to provide feedback about the format etc.

    This was the first entry for my DM2SP competition. It re-converts the DM_Lockdown map back into an SP map.

    However, it adds a small group of rebels to rescue and escape via a helicopter.

    There’s even a simple puzzle to drop the forcefield.

    This is an updated and extended version of Slums.

    You are disorientated and lost. You regain full awareness in what looks to be a storage room in an apartment block.

    Work your way through a variety of environments to find your way to freedom.

  • Poll Question 134 – Do you kill when you don’t need to?

    Let’s start with a definition.

    Clearly we don’t “need” to even play games or mods but the question is asking what you do once you have the ability to move onto the next part of the game and after you have finished exploring for ammo, health or other goodies.

    This map was originally made for HL2 Deathmatch but due to its nature it is possible to play it in Half-Life 2 or even Garry’s Mod.

    It takes place in a drydock and the player has the ability to start certain physics effects.

    It can be a resource hog, although being a few years old now most players shouldn’t have much trouble running it.

    Another entry for a very old mapping competition. I am sure you will realize that this didn’t win!

    You start off in a prison cell and things just get worse.

    Can you survive the final test?
